Advantages and disadvantages

What to pay attention to when choosing?
The variety of models can be confusing.
There are several important factors to consider when choosing:
- Capacity,
- cleaning class,
- water consumption,
- type of drying
- modes of operation (cleaning),
- noise level,
- leakage protection.
Capacity
The dishwashers can be full-sized (width 60 cm) or narrow (width 45 cm).. Full-sized device is able to hold up to 17 kg of dishes or from 14 to 17 complexes (a set of wool items).
The width of the standard models in this review is 60 cm.
The required capacity depends on how many dishes you intend to wash. If it is small, it is not reasonable to buy a full-size model.
Cleaning class
In terms of cleaning quality, dishwashers are assigned to classes A, B and C. Bosh machines, like all modern devices, have class A - the best.
Water consumption
Full-size dishwashers use up to 15 liters of water per cycle. This is much more economical than washing dishes by hand, because up to 80 liters are consumed for one dishwashing of a family of 3-4 people.
Type of drying
Drying the dishes after washing is a necessary option for modern kitchens.
There are two types of washer-dryer:
- Condensation drying - It wastes more time, but requires less energy;
- Turbo drying . - Takes less time but consumes more resources.
Operating modes
When choosing a device, pay attention to its functionality and consider the peculiarities of your household.
Typically, dishwashers offer the following standard modes:
- standard: for dishes that are not heavily soiled;
- accelerated: the cycle lasts no more than half an hour;
- intensive: for heavy soiling, the wash cycle lasts at least one hour;
- soaking mode: in order to wash dried-on pieces of food.
Some models have additional functions:
- delayed start and timer;
- water hardness control;
- warming of the dishes;
- eco (water saving);
- light indicators;
- half-load mode.
Noise level
Noise level not exceeding 60 dB is the norm for a dishwasher.
Bosh dishwashers have silent motor Eco Silence Drive. Their noise level ranges from 42-52 dB.
Leak protection
Most modern devices have a special system, AquaStop, which is designed to protect the appliance from water leaks in case of breakage.
Leak protection can be full or partial.
Full protection is more reliable. It consists of a special tray and a hose for water drainage. Partial protection consists only of the tray.
